Our team are dedicated to ensuring your experience with us is a great one. They are always looking forward to meeting new faces and getting to know our patients throughout their orthodontic journey. The team will assist in every way during your treatment and with your after care. Every year our team members attend lectures and courses to keep them up to date with new technology and clinical standards to ensure that you are provided with the highest possible quality care.

Our Commitment To You

At Gold Coast Orthodontists we treat every patient with care and respect. At your initial appointment one of our fully qualified specialist orthodontists will examine you or your child and determine the best possible treatment and provide you with a personalised, tailored treatment plan that will deliver a healthy, smile with style.

We will always take as much time as needed at each visit to ensure treatment progresses as planned and you or your child gets the perfect smile.

Our Qualifications

Orthodontists are dentists who have undergone further training (an extra three years full-time) at a recognised university. This means you or your child will be treated by leading experts in the field of orthodontics, not just someone that dabbles in orthodontics.

Latest Technology and Techniques

Gold Coast Orthodontists keep up to date with the latest technology in Orthodontics and deliver quality, evidence based treatment to all of our patients.

We use an indirect method when applying braces which is less invasive and quicker than the direct method approach.

There are many fad type treatments available that “claim” to make things faster however, to date, we have not seen any clinical evidence to support these claims.

Private Treatment Rooms

Unlike many orthodontic practices that have a “hair salon” set up Gold Coast Orthodontists recognise that patients prefer privacy so that they can feel comfortable when undergoing treatment. All of our practices offer private treatment rooms for our patients to feel comfortable all the time.

Flexible, interest-free plans

We understand that whilst everyone wants straight teeth and a beautiful smile, it can be a worry about affordability.

To help you or your child get the smile you want, we offer flexible, interest-free payment plans over a period of time to suit your budget!

Infection Control

Gold Coast Orthodontists take pride in the way we treat our patients. That includes the work we do behind the scenes.

All instruments are sterilised and cleaned according to the Australian Dental Association’s guidelines. Strict infection control measures are implemented daily to prevent cross infection so you and your child can feel safe when you are in our clinic.

Convenience

We are located at three convenient shopping centers on the Gold Coast, all offering ample parking.
